Chapter 40: Restitution
In the northwest corner of the West Garden, the little black dog was lying on the roof of the barracks watching the moon, muttering: "Hey! Dog boy, but sleep soundly, at this night, but someone is worried about your dog boy's life, in one sentence to describe, it is a kind of lovesickness, two resentments, this situation can not be eliminated, either you die, or he lives. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Shaking his head and chanting crooked words, the little black dog stretched out his paws, pinched his toes and said to himself: "Well, this dog boy has dealt with such a danger today, and his ability is beyond the expectations of Poor Dao, and what makes Poor Dao even more envious is that this kid has luck and killed that Hu Qiang, it just so happens that his uncle Hu Zhen is not in the West Garden, and when Hu Zhen comes back, this kid is afraid that he has already brought his recruits to Xiaopingjin, and Hu Zhen will not dare to kill it blatantly." This is luck, it's really enviable, poor luck, hey! It's really in response to the dog boy's words, heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs......"
Listening to Zhang Liao's snoring in the barracks below, the little black dog couldn't help but sigh again: "Ignorance is a blessing, and luck is even more blessing, as long as this kid is given a period of time, Hu Zhen is not afraid, hey!" But when will this kid be able to cultivate? Forget it, poor Dao should hurry up and deduce the Dao method. ”
Zhang Liao didn't have a good night's rest, and he experienced thrilling, twists and turns that day, and he was already mentally exhausted, and he really slept soundly that night.
At dawn the next day, before dawn, Zhang Liao ordered the logistics troops to open a stove to cook and prepare a meal for 1,700 people.
At four o'clock in the morning, that is, at about six o'clock in the morning, 1,200 recruits began to eat, but after the meal, Zhang Liao made an exception and did not let the soldiers practice, but asked everyone to pack up all the things that should be packed.
Zhang Liao is now appointed as the Sima of Pingjin, stationed in Pingxian County, originally he had three days of preparation time in Xiyuan, but yesterday he beat Hua Xiong, killed Hu Zhen's nephew, and beat Li Dao's nephew, which can be said to have greatly offended the Qianghu generals under Dong Zhuo's command.
The night was long and dreamy, Zhang Liao was afraid of another incident, so he was anxious to leave Xiyuan and go to Pingxian. He has deeply understood the audacity and ferocity of the Qiang Hu generals, and with yesterday's scene, whether it is Hua Xiong, Hu Zhen or Li Dao, revenge is inevitable, it is only a matter of time or time.
Since Zhang Liao dared to kill, he was naturally not afraid of fighting, but now the Kwantung princes' crusade against Dong Zhuo was not far off, and what he needed was to concentrate on training martial arts and soldiers, and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, instead of fighting and fighting with the Qianghu soldiers, wasting precious energy and time.
The 1,200 recruits under his command only stayed in this West Garden for two nights, and there was basically nothing to pack, and as for the most troublesome grain transportation, fortunately, Zhang Liao had ordered them not to unload the trucks yesterday, and they could leave at any time today.
At the end of the day, everything was ready, more than 1,200 soldiers were formed, refreshed, everything was ready, just waiting to go, but Zhang Liao did not immediately order people to set off, he was waiting for someone, waiting for a group of people.
It's a pity that he didn't wait until four o'clock in the morning, Zhang Liao sighed secretly, time is pressing, and there is no room to wait. Although Wu Kuang told him yesterday that Hu Zhen was not in Xiyuan for the time being, and Li Wei was even far away in Hedong, he believed that Hua Xiong had suffered such a big loss, and he would inevitably let people report Hu Zhen overnight, and Hu Zhen's revenge was likely to come today.
Hu Zhen is different from Hua Xiong, he is a Zhonglang general, and he has a very high status in the Liangzhou Army, and he is a first-class general second only to Dong Zhuo. When he fights with Huaxiong, Dong Zhuo may not intervene, but when he fights with Hu Zhen, his nature changes, just because his current status and reputation are too low, and he is not very important in Dong Zhuo's heart.
Seeing that it was already three poles old, Zhang Liaodang was about to order the soldiers to set off, but at this moment, a group of people appeared in the distance, about four or five hundred, who were hurrying towards this side.
The soldiers who were lining up were a little commotion, Zhang Liao stared at it, and when he saw the clothes of those people, he couldn't help but show joy on his face, fortunately, he finally waited.
Zhang Jian on the side also said excitedly: "It's Zhao Junhou who is back!" ”
Zhang Liao nodded, the force that came was the old department of Bingzhou that he left in Xiyuan when he left Luoyang to recruit troops, it was five hundred cavalry, led by his most trusted Qujun Marquis Zhao Wu, and was later absorbed by Ding Yuan and Lu Bu successively.
Yesterday, Li Ru separated Zhang Liao and Lu Bu, Dong Zhuo was probably also worried that the two generals of the state were secretly forming a party, so he ordered Lu Bu to return the five hundred cavalry to Zhang Liao, Lu Bu promised to return the men and horses early this morning during the banquet yesterday, Zhang Liao waited for more than two hours, I thought I couldn't wait, but I didn't expect that when I was about to leave, this group of people and horses just came.
Five hundred soldiers approached, and a burly man in the lead shouted, stepped forward, bowed respectfully in front of Zhang Liao, and said excitedly: "Sima! Qu Jun Marquis Zhao Wu returned with five hundred soldiers! ”
"Sima!" The five hundred soldiers followed Qi Qi and saluted Zhang Liao, the voice was shocking, they were all old subordinates who had been following Zhang Liao, and when they saw Zhang Liao at this time, they were all excited. The original Zhang Liao's ability to lead troops was still very strong, and he was very supported and loved by his soldiers.
"Good! Very good! Seeing a burly man with tears in his eyes, Zhang Liao also felt a wave of gratitude and excitement in his heart, helped Zhao Wu up, looked at the five hundred soldiers, familiar faces, names popped out in his mind, his mouth moved, he took a deep breath, there was no grandiose words, just said: "It's good to come back." ”
But Zhang Liao's sentence was good to come back, but it made Zhao Wu and the five hundred soldiers feel the feeling of going home, and they were even more excited.
The momentum of these five hundred soldiers is all the elite of the Merge Prefecture that has been trained for a long time, and it is far stronger than the momentum of the 1,200 recruits, which makes those array recruits also look sideways.
"Sima!" At this time, Zhao Wu bowed down again, and said ashamedly: "Zhao Wu is incompetent, he failed to bring back the war horses of his sons, and was detained by Lu Duwei." ”
These five hundred soldiers are all cavalry, and the war horse is more than half of their combat strength, so Zhao Wu felt extremely ashamed that he failed to bring back the war horse, and even the five hundred soldiers looked a little depressed.
Zhang Liao helped Zhao Wu up again, looked at him and the five hundred soldiers, and laughed: "The war horse is precious, but for Ben Sima, Yuehu and Erlang are more important, and when you can come back, Ben Sima is already very happy, why talk about anything else!" ”
"I'll follow Sima to the death!" Zhao Wu and the five hundred soldiers were moved, and as Zhao Wu roared, the five hundred soldiers echoed in unison: "Swear to follow Sima to the death!" ”
Zhang Liao laughed: "Get up, I've met the newly recruited comrades first, breakfast has been prepared for you, and after eating, I will go to Pingjin with Ben Sima!" ”
"Yes!" Zhao Wu clenched his fists and took the order.
"Haha, Zhao Laohu! The brethren will almost never see you. Zhang Jian and Song Chao came up and greeted Zhao Wu with a smile, both of them and Zhao Wu were Zhang Liao's most powerful arms, and they had a very good relationship with each other.
